NYP: Biden told a restaurant owner at an Ohio town hall Wednesday night that he would likely struggle to hire new employees for the next few months before expanded federal unemployment benefits run out — unless he paid them more.
The restaurateur, who identified himself as John Lanni, a Republican, asked Biden during the CNN event in Cincinnati: “We employ hundreds of hard-working team members throughout the state of Ohio and across the country, and we’re looking to hire more every day. How do you and the Biden administration plan to incentivize those that haven’t returned to work yet? Hiring is our top priority right now.”
“Two things,” Biden responded. “One, if you noticed, we kept you open. We spent billions of dollars to make sure restaurants can stay open, and a lot of people who now — who work as waiters and waitresses decided that they don’t want to do that anymore because there’s other opportunities at higher wages, because there’s a lot of openings now, jobs. People are beginning to move … There’s not much distinction between not going back to work in a restaurant and not going back to work at a factory. So people are looking to change opportunities, change what they’re doing. more here
WTF would the Usurper Joey B. know about the restaurant business?
izlamo delenda est …
Says the guy who’s never created one single job or signed the front end of a paycheck his entire miserable useless life.
Every time I read or hear what Bidumb and pretty much every Dirty Dem says my first thought is, “Fu*k you liar”
Joey tells restaurateur, “Let them eat your cake.”
Mr Magoo thinks this little prank with our budget is permanent and will lead to higher wages for all. When the Biden Recession hits there wont be any jobs and NO free money for all the slackers.
Brad, Tim,
He doesn’t need to know because Joe, unlike the restaurant owner, has a printing press that makes money out of thin air.
A couple of my cooks went out and got jobs as rocket scientists. True story.
No they didn’t you fucking nitwit. They sat on their asses and collected the extra $600 a week they were getting and quite frankly I didn’t blame them. Everyone knew this would be a problem but nobody gave a shit.
I saw this clip and SlowJoe seemed coherent, must be the body double.
Neither SlowJoe or KamalaToe have moved into their residences.
You got to give the Biden Clan credit. They’re pushing the hell out of automation. All my equipment is automated. I learned a long time ago you get a lot more ROI on machine payments apposed to payroll.
…one problem with automation right now is, between the fake chip shortage being manipulated by the Chinese and the fact that all the OEMs of things like drives and motors shut down for the FakeFlu even as “vital industries” like mine kept consuming parts, there’s now a shortage of automation components as well.
…also, you don’t want someone fresh off the boat modifying teach pendant programs. Ask me how I know. You can have a dozen of them stuff boxes with no bennies after contracting them thru a temp service, and get rid of them when the contract job is done faster than you can plan and develop a robot cell for something you may be doing as a one-off, because if you’re investing in automation it better be something with lead time that you plan to do a LOT of to get rapid ROI on it before you have to start having to have skilled labor replace worn parts and VERY skilled labor adapt the programs for other uses, and THOSE guys ain’t cheap, I should know, I’m one of them…
Brad – There used to be a place for kids to start out in the world with a reasonable minimum wage. It gives a reason to start out and incentive to work up to bigger and better things and I see nothing wrong with that.
This bottom of his class, unaccomplished, lying, plagiarizing, bragging, blustering, perverted shitbag thinks he’s a GD expert on everything when the fact of the matter is he has never signed a paycheck for anyone, let alone a burger flipper! What does this Asshole care if he has to pay $50 bucks for a hamburger… he’s always used someone else’s money!!
So they are using our tax dollars to break us and we are taking it and they run it i n our faces. mAt what point do the majority rise from silence and decide this government no longer works for the people.

“Brad – There used to be a place for kids to start out in the world with a reasonable minimum wage. It gives a reason to start out and incentive to work up to bigger and better things and I see nothing wrong with that.”
…that’s the problem. People want to think EVERY job is an end point, but you have to start SOMEWHERE, to develop good habits abd prove you’re going to show up.
I started out washing dishes by hand in a Chinese restaurant when I was 14. I did not EVER consider that to be my permanent career, but a stepping stone to bigger and better things. I used my dishwashing money to buy a beater and one of those brand new TRS-80s on credit so I could literally “learn to code” and never washed dishes again, except at the house from time to time…

FANUC owns that market. And their management was smart enough early on to avoid the China Syndrome. Their controllers are almost exclusively Intel American build chips. They’re huge. Mitsubishi tried breaking into that market for a while. Just like the Zero, went down in flames.

You know who wrecked apprentice ship programs? State and Fed Gov. We’ve been in business over 30 years and with the exception of about the last 6 years employed right at 50 people. We’ve trained a ton of young people. But the Government punishes you for having people in your employ. Workman’s Comp in California is a joke. A very bad joke. I could tell you many a story, but I’m happy scaling back and letting the machines do the work.
If these guys can’t do it, it can’t be done.

…most of my arms are Fanuc, mostly B2000 5 and 6 axis with a sprinkling of 4 axis 420s and a couple of 410s for the reach. They do seem to be pretty good at keeping stock, but they are just part of a cell and getting servos and drives out of even more reliable sources like Allen Bradley and Siemens sometimes has a delay it didn’t have before, and getting gearmotora for conveyors from more obscure OEMs like Brother is problematic indeed, and getting tooling parts from outfits like pHD takes pre-planning now too.
And Fanuc quit repairing my 2005 teach pendants when the operators bang them up. Making me upgrade on those whether I want to or not. I know time moves forwards, but it’s a lot more expensive to buy new than have fixed, and I think that’s part of it too…
…my ABB guy also says I should be thinking about getting some spare parts on order too, because lead times are increasing. Could be he’s just trying to fat his sales up for the end of the quarter too, tho…
SNS
No, Lead Times are increasing and I can’t figure out why. The COVID excuse is dead. WTF? I honestly can’t figure out where the delay is. Or what’s causing it.

It’s like I said, when talking to my distributor for most of my little electrical crap like those 5:1 gearmotors and proximities from Balluff and Turck photo eyes, he said there was a while that stuff just wasn’t getting made and it also wasn’t getting used because a lot of end users were shut down and distributors didn’t want to be left holding a giant bag of taxable inventory, so they let the pipeline empty. Paying people to not work here isn’t helping restart the warehouses and shipping centers, either.
And now, with employers finding out their “just in time” plan for keeping stripped-down inventories themselves are in ruins there’s a LOT of demand, but the Chinese are being tight with chips for reasons of their own, probably bad ones, so it doesn’t look to get better any time soon…
JIT reqires a well oiled complex machine to work properly. We had one a few years ago until Covid shut everything down. While some pieces of this puzzle can get started up again, not all can and some may not even be there anymore. The total impact of this virus has yet to be seen!
Anyone that has confidence in Biden should be expecting a visit from a big Indian with a pillow….
“I Like them French Fried Potaters. Mmm humm.” This is the real extent of Sling Blade Obiden Bama’s knowledge about the restaurant bidness.
“Them French Fried Pertaters are a big fukin deal! Mmm humm.
Gosh, Wally, it’s almost like the gubmint is paying people to stay home as a back door way to increase the minimum wage without having to go through Congress. Say, if people are making more money, won’t they have to pay more income tax?
“You’ll have to pay them more, and, of course, my ten percent.”
“Nice little business you have here. It would be a shame if anything were to happen to it….”
We tried a lot of things, but a scamdemic finally got us $15.00 minimum wage!”
